Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Let me check , we went back and forth on tire sizes so many times I don't remember ! As soon as I get a set back from the manufacturer.....its a waiting game that is killing me ! LOL

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
A few weekend updates !
Finished welding up the seams in the front of the LMC Truck fenders, after I get the front end all mocked up I will go back with 1/8 rod and make the body line I hate how you can see the cab indentations between the back of the cab and the front of the bed so we capped the top 4 inches to hide it. Got the doors all adjusted and started the gapping process |

Made some more progress on the Flex-a-lite radiator cover , I wanted radius bends on it......that was a pain ! I took a 1 inch solid steel bar and beat the radius into it .

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
i been looking intoo carbon fiber
thinking about making the grille and the bumpers out of the stuff and clearcoat it might make the side trim out of the stuff too have a 78 pickup and want the grille to look more like one out of a 57 chevy truck but fitted in the regtangulair shape the original 78 grille is in , still thinking if i keep the headlight surounds or make round ones ![]()

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Do you have an up close pic of how you capped the indentions on the backside of the cab? Wondering what kind of radius you put in it to make it a smooth transition? Get what I'm saying?

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
cowl panel is bada** did he just cut out the vents and tig around the perimeter?
nice addition for a truck that does not need fresh air any more.
